I have always been interested in my family history, but my ability to find the time to do the research has fluctuated over the years. I belong to Ancestry.com, and I enjoy looking up other people's ancestors almost as much as I enjoy looking up my own.

I have taken many gravestone pictures and am willing to take many more. I find them to be fascinating, and they have sometimes helped me in putting the pieces of my family's history together.

I discovered FindAGrave.com when a member took some pictures of my relatives' tombstones, found my family tree on Ancestry.com, and asked if I wanted to take a look at the pictures. I started browsing this site, and I'm addicted. I think it is a wonderful resource!

Please notify me of any corrections, concerns, etc. for the memorials I've posted.

The Mathisons of BrandonJust wanted to drop you a note and thank you for the plethra of information on my Mathison family! Petrina Mathison Sanderson was my great Grandmother and I've heard lots of stories about "the farm in Minnesota" from my Aunt Joyce. I contacted the Historical Society and got tons of stuff!! Even a picture of the farm... this was all very exciting to my daughter and me...

Thank you again! If it weren't for you, I may never have found my Norwegian roots!

Thank you SO much for the photos of my great-grandparents' headstone. It means so much to me! I feel like I've waited forever, and I was started to wonder if they were even in the cemetery (even though I was positive! :P). People had gone before to get the photo, and had never been able to find them. Was the grave very hard to find or anything like that?

RE: Forest Hill Cemeteryhelloit is perfectly fine; I will unclaim them and you can post your photos! I am not concerned with claiming as much as the finding and photographing them part!Also, I did have an issue finding Rachel on my first attempt the other one I reported a problem on was an error; I just do not know how to remove the 'problem' I mistakenly reported. I will unclaim, now, so you can add your photosThanks, Chris

Alice AhernJenny,I tried to get a photo of Alice Ahern's grave for your memorial, but was unsuccessful. The Rose Hill office gave me the section and plot number, but after two walk-throughs, I finally solicited the help of a groundskeeper. We located the plot, but found that apparently no headstone or marker had ever been installed. Sorry I wasn't able to do more.
